Yep black pla+ I also print a gotek case to fit in the 5.25" bay.. It works like the amiga version, except there's no software loader you have to select the images on the drive, optionally a oled screen you can see the whole file name on and also optionally a rotary encoder to select otherwise but

I opened my NEC PC-8508A ROM/RAM Cartridge today.  It was, of course, just like your's pictured below but my ROM sockets (4) were white.  So clearly the NEC PC-8500 was designed to employ option ROMs.  Still not sure if any were made or if the Real Estate and Expert I & II program advertised we

Hello, I saw a computer once, actually not a computer, but more like a dock, it had a single connector that looks like it was supposed to be socketed into one of the empty chip sockets. It had a monitor and if I remember well, it had a 5 1/4 disk drive as well. I'm not sure if it had any other outp
